Do not feed the birds, Ducks...or the Homeless!!

This is a great story coming out of Las Vegas where if you give food to the homeless in one of the parks, you could land some time in jail. This ordinance was passed on Wednesday which bans "providing food or meals to the indigent for free or a nominal fee in parks." *The ordinance defines an indigent as a "person whom a reasonable ordinary person would believe to be entitled to apply for or receive assistance" from the government under state law.

The ACLU of Nevada has stepped in calling the ordinance "blatantly unconstitutional, unenforceable and the latest attempt by the city to hide and harass the homeless instead of constructively addressing their plight." The ACLU is made up of a bunch of Liberal WHACKS.

I agree with the City ordinance because this is an attempt not to repress the homeless but to give them incentive to try and get back on their own feet. The problem in the U.S., is the Liberals and their policies. They want people to "need" their assistance because as long as there are people "needing" assistance, they can almost guarantee on votes. That is assuming the people using the Government actually vote. My guesses are these "unfortunates" (Liberal term) do not vote and are not even registered.

How can you honestly blame anyone for trying to make someone else better? That's another problem that I have, too many people wanting hand-outs and not enough people with their hand-up.

This society that we live in is only going to continue to get worse as long as the Government remains these people's bread winner. I am not just talking about the homeless, I was in Property Management and there was a resident whose viewpoint was, "I need another kid so I can get more support, more sex, more support". In case you are wondering, it was not section 8. To make a long story short, she was evicted because she had too many people living in the apartment...let me rephrase that, she broke occupancy standards because she had too many kids (who all had different last names). The Occupancy standard was 6 "human heartbeats" for a 3 bedroom, she had 6 kids and her living in the 3 bedroom apartment.

I wish more cities would take this initiative, get these lazy bums off their asses and make it where they have to better themselves. We need to cut-off the support we are giving them because they have been taking advantage of the system for years now.

Do not get me wrong, there are people who need assistance. Take for instance my mother, she is in her 60's, is not in the state of health to be able to work, thus she receives Government income. There are many cases such as hers', and there are many cases in which the people have figured out they can beat the system. My conclusion is this, there are good and there are bad and unfortunately the bad paints a horrible image in my eyes and many others' eyes pertaining to the Government programs offered to the "poor". I use the word "poor" loosely because there is a difference in being "poor and cannot help yourself physically, mentally, etc." and "poor- I is just lazy and want that there Government check each month".

I believe this is a trend that we are going to have to continously deal with, people using the Government. What makes me angry is the people who defend the "unfortunate"...No, let's clarify something, there is a difference in being "unfortunate" and just plain ol' L-A-Z-Y.

Again, it goes back to the Liberal concept of incorporating "thinking" and "feeling". Once again, I do not care what they "think" or how they "feel", because they let this concept blind their judgments.

Folks, I look forward to your opinions and comments, post away!!!
